[MENTION=2053005]HNaseer[/MENTION] if your device is an LG it is possible it may have a locked bootloader, see info here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HNaseer:
Thanks pop but framaroot also didnot work, said failure on all 3 options.

Thanks oscar will see the info n get back, but no i hv a chinese clone device of Blu life play aka QMobile A900 and flashed a custom LG G3 Rom for my mobile. I dont think bootloader is locked but tell me one thing, i tried to change internal storage partition size using meteos-mt6589-rom-edit apk which eventually failed to adjust; also, supersu.apk is already residing in my /system partition but when i open it, it says update binary and the update eventually fails on normal, cant use cwm as there isn't ne. Can this be the reason not letting me root by any means? How to go about it to resolve ? sorry but unfortunately i dont hv stock spflash backup, only cwm backup available. Also cant find flashable stock rom on net newhr :banghead:

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
[MENTION=2053005]HNaseer[/MENTION] I Don't know much about meteos apk, but it seems to me you need to find the stock rom for your device or maybe try to reflash the custom rom that was installed when you tried meteos, its a little off topic as this thread is really just to do with Mtkdroid tools, sorry cant be more help.

Hi,

This post is to inform of a hidden virus in MTKDroidTool_2.5.3 tool. Specifically, it is located in the file "pwn" in the folder named "files", with the virus "HEUR: Exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.bg". I do not know if this file is installed (was "ELF" format), but you should remove this file.

Best regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Read this:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jorfen:
Yeah, I had read ... but 2.4.6 and earlier do not have this file. On the other hand, the log does not specify all the steps that the program does. That is, what is used at all times and which is copied to the mobile device.

Well, not that I do not trust MTKDroidTool, is just to have certain guarantees that operations performed are correct. This is because most rooted mobiles, have more risk of virus / malware which are not rooted.

Best regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrvlhs:
Very interesting point. I'd like to hear more about this from the dev.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
As oscarblue already answered is not a virus but it's an exploit that need to root the phone.

Older version don't have it but didn't work in many phones that works with new MTKDroid version.

Don't stress us with false new about a virus.

If you want use it. If you don't want it don't use it and leave the phone unrooted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jorfen:
Are you sure about what you say? You can prove it in any way? For me, the excuse that if you do not like do not use it, no good. I think you have not properly analyzed the situation. The other variants of this "exploit" do the following:

h**p://securelist.com/blog/incidents/29836/malware-in-the-android-market-part-2/

This variant, finished in ".bg" I do not know what it actually does. I have not found much information about this. On the other hand, appreciate a detailed explanation for each file in the folder is used.

Best regards.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
I'm using AVG (antivrus) with XP and Windows7/8 and it worked with MTKDroid without any (false) security message.

You continue to stress us with unseful request.

Please don't say to someone if he knows the object of the discusion.

Please think that probably you don't know enough it.

I already explained that any security hole patches are detected by antivirus as virus.

Is not a virus. It's an exploit

Please don't continue to spent your time in an useful things.

Please use this time study the objects of the discussion and increase your experience before to make a sentence.

.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jorfen:
Ok. No problem. Use the information provided as you want. Sure you do not have any doubt?. I would like to know why you do not reason the answers you give. Just dedicate yourself to repeat information and I think you're already stressed out normally.

If you paid attention to what you say and do, you give coherent explanations. So you see that AVG does not detect anything, you only have to look at the result of the analysis of the version 2.4.8 (which is the first positive):

h**ps://api.vtapi.net/en/file/ff710416ed2eef80af68fb67958ed7a829e773eea32f8f6f619ea22c0d2d6939/analysis/

(copy&paste and delete space in ...f6f61 9ea22)

Furthermore, ESET Antivirus classifies it as "Trojan". Well, do not worry, I'm sure you're right (if that's what you wanted to hear) and I'm just a Troll ...

Of all forms, forget the message, lest they get stressed even more.

Best regards.

Hi all and thanks for this thread ! :)

I have managed to install custom cmw and make back ups both with cmw and mtk tools .Problem is that when press SuperUser in the mtk tools ,the process goes on forever without completing.

My device is an mls iQTalk Crystal Max Dual ,mt6577,(iQ1600), on android 4.1.1 and Kernel 3.4.

I also , tried to install su via cmw with "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" .Got success message in cmw flashing ,but after boot up there's no su root ,even after intall of su app dl from google store....So,any help here ?? ..Pls !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Hi, I think if you have managed to make a full backup with droid tools then your device is already rooted, because if it is unrooted then the backup button is normally greyed out, also if rooted it will show a yellow notification in the bottom left corner of the window, which should mean that you have super user or supersu already installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nicorb:
As per instructions ,to make full back up ,i just have to be in recovery and press back up button.After process had finished ,there was just one more step to make that back up ready for restore and thats it.But surely, not root yet and SuperUser process just wont complete, as i already mentioned.

When on yellow notification ,suggestion is that "iQ Tlak Crystal Max system/bin/su is found! Via the ROOT button it is possible to get root". But when I press ROOT ,I get ERROR : SU inaccessible.

Are the files useless

Hi i have used your tool and loved it but i need to understand when you make a backup you get a few files which you can process to be used by the sp flashtool after you process those file the files that a folder is created called files to flash which i understand what it is so are the files which was created when i backup the device of anyuse other than a backup :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
The instruction are already in the first posts.

You have to make a backup and then select "Create file for Flashtool".

Then you have in backup folder a sub-folder of your backup and inside you will find the sub-folder with file for Flashtool /except userdata.img and cache.img)

Does SPflashtool give any error message? are you sure you have the Usb vcom drivers installed correctly? what version of SPflashtool are you using, some versions work better than others, it might be worth trying an earlier or later version, are you trying to connect with the battery in your device or out of it?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iZLeeP:
Go here for your device forum and ask help there. Your phone is already hard bricked since you flashed it while your bootloader is locked. It is a hardware issue and probably as you said, only a motherboard replacement will solve the issue.

Here's a tutorial, by the way.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
In this tutorial (also if there is a brief guide in the first post in this thread), there is big error-

When you have to flash via Download mode YOU SHOULDN'T SELECT PRELOADER and SECRO partition to avoid to destroy current preloader and security data inside the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
That information is written on the very bottom of the tutorial. It is assumed that the entire post is meant to be read. Do you have any experience with MT6592 that could help to clarify if it also applies to that platform?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
The information (not select SECRO and PRELOADER) it's very important (and dangerous) and should be written on TOP 8with red color).

What kind of experience with MT6592 and related which items?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] a.marduk:
it works with 6592,

starting from sp fllashtool version 5 , upgrade firmware will format the device first before downloading rom.

So make sure u have backed up the imei first (nvram.bin) before using upgrade firmware...

[MENTION=637263]bovirus[/MENTION]

as long you are sure the firmware are for the phone, it's allright to flash the preloader...

upgrade firmware needs full rom to use (all checklists are filled).

if for some reason u flashed the wrong preloader, try "meta-mode" to unbrick it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
About what you are writing regarding SECRO and PRELOADER. I know that it applies to MT6589, but don't know if it is the same on newer platforms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Please take care that there are two different problems.

Some versions of SP Flashtool request to reformat the phone also if is not necessary.

Please check with other version of SP Flashtoool.

The asome new firmware (ex. starting with ROM Androdi 4.2.x and new firmware Androdi 4.4.x) require a reformat of the device because the partition sizes (like boot and recovery) are different.

Before to make a reformat (if it's really needed) it's mandatory to make a complete backup to save NVRAM and IMEI info.

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

a.marduk

The same teelfon mdel can be different board and if you flash teh wrong preloader you cannot use again SP Flashtool.

The typical sugegstion is to make a backup befroe and replace the rpeloader file opf new firmware with the prelodaer of the backup.

What's about "meta-mode"?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
Use flash tool image as firmware update

So are you saying that a full read of the memory could be extracted and later used as a firmware update to restore the phone? If so, how do you use the Smart Phone Flash Tool to get the entire phone memory. I understand that you would select all the boxes on from the scatter file but what value would you use in the Read Back panel for "Length".

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] a.marduk:
the first time i bricked my mt6589, i was playing with the partition (scatter, mbr, ebr1, ebr2).

my phone can't turn on , no charge indicator when u connect the charger. Flashing with sp flashtool always gave error message (always failed). Then i searched xda for answer, Here i found about meta-mode. With this method, i succeeded unbricking my phone.

The next time , i flashed "full rom" from other phone model. preloader, boot, recovery, secro , etc. And with meta-mode i unbrick my phone.

Here is Yuweng's thread about meta-mode.

And i already flashed full rom for my nibiru (mt6592), so about preloader and secro , as long as the rom is for your phone, it's okey to flash them :D But if you're not sure, uncheck the preloader.

You don't need to format the phone because of different partition (such as upgrading to 4.4.x with different partition size). Just use "firmware upgrade". You can also use "firmware upgrade" in case you got "pmt error" message in flashtool. (as far as i know, pmt error occurs if you flash a rom with different scatter from the phone). Make sure that the rom is for your phone.

[MENTION=5915952]Donphillipe[/MENTION] , try this for porting carliv touch recovery, or this for non touch.

You can also try this tool for porting twrp.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Because contain personal user data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
What is the method of backing this data up, not to be shared? Thank you.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

I would imagine more people would want to back up their user data than would want a safety feature that removes a very nice function of the tool. The option is a selection, the option is clear, and as someone who just began using this process last week, I know I have failed at many things like believing SP flash "Download" meant to pull the image to my computer instead of the opposite, not understanding that clicking the one button changes English to Russian, I have made many mistakes.

The only option that is totally clear to me has been removed. If possible I would like to vote to return this as an option. Maybe it would be possible for you to hide the option in a secondary menu and always reset it when the program loaded. Thank you very much. This is a very effective tool.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] m0han:
these are things you get to read if you search/translate (maybe russian language forums)....

"you can't use MTKDroidTools for kitkat.... rua1 stopped the tool developement at jellybean stage".....

"developer has discontinued support....., long time no updates....". :(

also read "Reward for a Job Well Done" here. maybe he's not motivated anymore. :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
Well, that is really sad news. The Internet seems to lend itself to everyone expecting everything in life free (or if not truly free, labeled as such while usage implements leaches attached to monitor your bodily functions). Maybe the author needs to implement a key system and charge for the code. When it comes to wading through the ocean of generosity of most souls, it seems we will scarcely get our feet wet.

I guess I should feel extremely lucky that I created a successful backup and subsequent restore out of this, considering it does not supporting kitkat.

I used the MTKdroid for many ioperation on device with KK, and I didn't have any kind of problem.

Just better to install TWRP recovery but some suers used CWM 5.x and 6.x (Carliv) also are delacred not compatible with KK, on KK without problems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donphillipe:
On the Blu Studio 6.0 HD, I believe the partition for recovery.inf (6M) is too small to handle any of the larger recovery managers (6.5 - 7M). I think they pretty much used all the space by allowing the recent upgrade.

Speaking of that, is it possible to modify the kit-kat firmware in any way to make look JB to the software update facility and therefor re-install the stock KK over what I have now?

******* To clarify, currently there is an available upgrade to KK for this device being distributed via "Wireless Update". My question is one perhaps general to this tool or it could be device dependent- is there an area of the firmware that can be zapped by any method using this tool which will cause Google Play to attempt to load the firmware again back to stock firmware?

ok. i had stock kitkat 4.4.2 running on a rooted xolo q3000. can you help with this?

i've used MTK Droid Root & Tools successfully in the past. but, now i'm facing a problem. i did search quite extensively for a solution. my device is xolo q3000.

it came with jellybean v4.2.1

. the other day it happened to get bricked while i was trying a custom kitkat rom. luckily for me, the service centre people reflashed

stock kitkat v4.4.2 rom

released after i bought the device.

as soon as i got back home, i rooted the device, installed es file explorer, ran MTK Droid Root & Tools, and following the steps in this guide, started backing up stuff. i got through nvram backup. then while doing a full backup, this error cropped up. wonder why it says no space.

i had not installed anything except vroot (for rooting), supersu in place of chinese kingroot that vroot provides (for root permissions) and es file explorer (for file management).

i did a full reset including wiping phone storage and started again as if i'd just bought the phone. i tried the tool on another pc. still no success.

has it anything to do with

external sdcard read-write access issues on kitkat rom

? please advise on how to get over the problem and how to make a full backup of my stock kitkat stock rom for safekeeping.

thanks a lot.
